Jerusalem. The first Prime Minister of Israel is pictured in July, 1957, with four
representatives of the Import-Export Bank who were in Israel discussing a loan. David
Ben-Gurion (1886-1973), who became known as "The Father of Israel", became
captivated with Zionism during his youth in Poland. Born David Gruen, he adopted the ancient
Hebrew name Ben-Gurion in 1906 at age 20, when he immigrated to Palestine. Ben-Gurion,
who proclaimed Israel's independence on May 14, 1948, was its first leader as Chairman of
the Provisional State Council (May 14-May 17, 1948). On May 17, he became Israel's
first Prime Minister (1948-1953) and Chaim Weizmann became President. Ben-Gurion
devoted his life to establishing a Jewish nation, and encouraged the return of Jewish
people from throughout the world. After serving again as Prime Minister from 1955-1963,
Ben-Gurion devoted himself to writing. He published Israel: The Years of Challenge (1963) and
The Jews in Their Land (1966). "Time" magazine called him "part Washington, part
Moses...the architect of a new nation". Mounting remnants on verso. Fine condition.
